One for the cat lovers on here, @Reynard might have an idea, we have three Salvia Hotlips plants in the garden, two in the front one in the back, the one out the back has had some strange attention from one of the local cats, I first noticed it sniffing the plant, it then started rubbing its face on the plant, by the time it had finished it was right under the plant with just its arse sticking out and rubbing itself all over on the plant, when it backed out it had a big stretch then started wriggling round on the path on its back before walking off, it seemed to be enjoying itself very much while it was doing it.
My wife brought a hot lips plant most inappropriate plant she could buy!!🤣🤣

They're lovely plants, just need pruning in spring other wise they can be left alone and they grow huge.

The rain gods are watching me. Had an early lunch and decided to go down to Loch Frisa for a trike run in a different area. Couple of miles down the road and rain started and showed no signs of passing over so back home with no cycling done. The rain was so heavy I think I can skip the fire brigade charity car wash tomorrow.
Started bread making and one or two other kitchen jobs when at the point of no return the sun came back out and remained out until just now when rain started again.
Something I have never seen before. When I approached our only mini roundabout on the island a girl on horseback cantered through the roundabout and up the double track road as the rain was starting. She had to pull over a bit to overtake a cyclist struggling up the hill soaking wet as he was only wearing a T shirt top. Does the 1.5 metre rule apply ? I had to wait till the top of the hill to overtake and give plenty of room for the horse which was clearly not bothered by cyclists or cars. I got a thank you wave.

My wife cut back some of our magnolia tree today. I thought that the sap smelled a bit like oranges .

2 pairs of good quality woollen socks? Merino ones won't stink the office out so you can leave them a good while with the shoes, and they'll keep your feet warm without overheating.

Erranding all done and dusted, and for the first time in a while, I managed to get / do everything that needed to be done. And an added bonus, I've managed to acquire a few extra things that will be useful, like some packaging stuff that was on clearance in Wilko, two boxes of 30 Cetirizine Hydrochloride tablets in Savers and a pack of 24 sheets of 240 gsm archival quality black card in WHSmith.
So I'm all set for continuing to mount and file photos for my archive for a little while yet, as I also picked up some extra white card and a new box of photo corners as well. Need to split the thing out again, as all but one of my files are decidedly overflowing.
Had a bowl of alphabet soup and a sandwich filled with these spicy breaded chicken things for supper, and I'm now sat here watching Italy v England.
